I was running in infrastructure mode, and I think I was mostly pinging
machines on the fixed network behind the AP, but I'll try and double check
that (I had a lot of trouble getting going with the card and our network
at work... I would ping a machine on the fixed ether X times and then the
ping would mysteriously stop... It looked like someone was stealing my IP
address, but may have actually been the same symptom).
-> If you try to ping the another wireless node, it does not work when

-> wireless node instead of sending them to the base station.
I'll have to give this a try and tcpdump on the remote end to see if
I get different packets when the interface is in promiscuous mode vs.
not.
Thanks for the hints!
